MANILA \u2013 Incoming administration party PDP-Laban lauded on Friday the appointment of radio-television news anchor Martin Andanar as the incoming head of the Presidential Communications Operations Office (PCOO), currently headed by Secretary Herminio Coloma Jr.<\/p>\n

PDP-Laban Regional President Manny T. Lumanao, in a statement, said this is the first time in several years that a top media personality from the Caraga Region, particularly from Siargao, Surigao del Norte, has been given a Cabinet post, and the second press secretary to come from Mindanao after Jesus Dureza, who now heads the Office of the Presidential Adviser on the Peace Process (OPAPP).<\/p>\n

Andanar is one of the very few Manila-based journalists who rooted for the Rodrigo Duterte presidency even before the Davao City mayor filed his certificate of candidacy.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe selection of Secretary Andanar once again highlights the glut of talents from Southern Philippines and a tribute to President-elect Rodrigo R. Duterte who strongly believes in the capacity of Mindanaoans to handle sensitive positions, especially in high-profile government assignments,\u201d said Lumanao, who is himself a publisher-editor of a regional publication, The People\u2019s Guardian.<\/p>\n

Lumanao is also a former senior confidante of the late Press Secretary Cerge Remonde and Executive Vice President and General Manager of the state-owned APO Production Unit Inc., a government-owned and controlled corporation (GOCC) which is under the PCOO.<\/p>\n
